In grateful recognition of what Christian Science has done for us I offer this testimony. When our eldest son was about ten years old he was taken with epilepsy, and we did everything we could for him that materia medica a could offer. He continually grew worse for seven years. He then had smallpox, which left him in a still worse condition. We employed a trained nurse during his illness with smallpox, and after he had recovered from that disease, she asked me to try Christian Science for the epilepsy. I did so, and he was entirely cured through absent treatment. Needless to say, my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for us is most profound.— Addie S. Elliott, Edenton, N. C.

While living in Two Harbors, Minn., I was taken ill with what the doctor called uremic poisoning, and every one thought the end was near; indeed, I have since been told that the doctor declared I had not many more days to live. My wife then asked me if she should call a Christian Science practitioner, and though I had no particular desire to live, my answer was neverthless in the affirmative. When the practitioner came, she said she would give me absent treatment provided I would not take medicine, and I agreed to her request.
